Looking around Jagyeongjeon Hall, you may find the beautiful flower wall. It is one of the most splendid decorations in Gyeongbokgung Palace. As Jagyeongjeon Hall was the residence building of the king’s mother, the decoration and scenery here are as breathtaking as Amisan Mountain in Gyotaejeon Hall.

The floral wall was engraved with various meaningful patterns. Patterns included letters, flowers, butterflies, and bamboo, which symbolized longevity, prosperity, and joy. It was built by solidifying its base with small stone materials made of granite and laying red bricks on it. Roof tiles were placed on top of the wall to complete the fence flower wall.

The wall of Jagyeongjeon Hall was built using the Myeonhoebeop technique. The Myeonhoebeop technique is an architectural technique of the royal family during the Joseon Dynasty. The name of the technique comes from its utility, which uses Samhwato soil material, a high-quality mixture of sand, earth, and lime, spread over the red brick. After building a few levels, the red brick became the pattern of the wall. Then, apply the soil between the gaps in the bricks, spreading the remaining soil to the surface of the bricks. Thus, only half of the red surface is visible. Lastly, draw the outlines on the bricks to complete the wall. It was a skilled and advanced technique at the time, which required a lot of effort.
